Akiss

     The six o'clock world
     The day's work done
     Family taking of the fruits
     Of plenty, good health, and love
     Russia is falling down around my ears
     The Middle East in a broth of darkness
     And you, Evil, Murder, and Fighting
     In my life everynight

     Chorus:
     Oh, love
     What power there was in that embrace
     That left me in union with you today
     From a kiss, one Spring evening.

     The grasp that was so firm and special
     Like a hammer in my fist
     The moon that was so bright
     And promised us so much
     We were like sailing ships
     On the young, yellow ocean of the heart
     Confronted by children, and the world family
     Without voice, laughter, a God, or food.

     So where do the stars come from, I said
     From where did the Sun appear
     We are so wounded below this moon
     Souls tortured beyond Hell itself
     Still you keep bringing inspiration to my years
     With blessings beyond my need
     Whiter than the snows of each winter
     The song of love, my confession of guilt.
